< Genesis 22 >
1 And after these things God did proue Abraham, and said vnto him, Abraham. Who answered, Here am I.
Quæ postquam gesta sunt, tentavit Deus Abraham, et dixit ad eum: Abraham, Abraham. At ille respondit: Adsum.
2 And he said, Take nowe thine onely sonne Izhak whom thou louest, and get thee vnto the land of Moriah, and offer him there for a burnt offering vpon one of the mountaines, which I will shewe thee.
Ait illi: Tolle filium tuum unigenitum, quem diligis, Isaac, et vade in terram visionis: atque ibi offeres eum in holocaustum super unum montium quem monstravero tibi.
3 Then Abraham rose vp early in the morning, and sadled his asse, and tooke two of his seruants with him, and Izhak his sonne, and cloue wood for the burnt offering, and rose vp and went to the place, which God had tolde him.
Igitur Abraham de nocte consurgens, stravit asinum suum: ducens secum duos iuvenes, et Isaac filium suum: cumque concidisset ligna in holocaustum, abiit ad locum quem præceperat ei Deus.
4 Then the third day Abraham lift vp his eyes, and sawe the place afarre off,
Die autem tertio, elevatis oculis, vidit locum procul:
5 And said vnto his seruants, Abide you here with the asse: for I and the childe will go yonder and worship, and come againe vnto you.
dixitque ad pueros suos: Expectate hic cum asino: ego et puer illuc usque properantes, postquam adoraverimus, revertemur ad vos.
6 Then Abraham tooke the wood of the burnt offering, and layed it vpon Izhak his sonne, and he tooke the fire in his hand, and the knife: and they went both together.
Tulit quoque ligna holocausti, et imposuit super Isaac filium suum: ipse vero portabat in manibus ignem et gladium. Cumque duo pergerent simul,
7 Then spake Izhak vnto Abraham his father, and said, My father. And he answered, Here am I, my sonne. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood, but where is the lambe for ye burnt offring?
dixit Isaac patri suo: Pater mi. At ille respondit: Quid vis fili? Ecce, inquit, ignis et ligna: ubi est victima holocausti?
8 Then Abraham answered, My sonne, God will prouide him a lambe for a burnt offering: so they went both together.
Dixit autem Abraham: Deus providebit sibi victimam holocausti, fili mi. Pergebant ergo pariter:
9 And when they came to the place which God had shewed him, Abraham builded an altar there, and couched ye wood, and bound Izhak his sonne and laid him on the altar vpon the wood.
et venerunt ad locum quem ostenderat ei Deus, in quo ædificavit altare, et desuper ligna composuit: cumque alligasset Isaac filium suum, posuit eum in altare super struem lignorum.
10 And Abraham stretching forth his hand, tooke the knife to kill his sonne.
Extenditque manum, et arripuit gladium, ut immolaret filium suum.
11 But the Angel of the Lord called vnto him from heauen, saying, Abraham, Abraham. And he answered, Here am I.
Et ecce Angelus Domini de cælo clamavit, dicens: Abraham, Abraham. Qui respondit: Adsum.
12 Then he said, Lay not thine hand vpon the childe, neither doe any thing vnto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing for my sake thou hast not spared thine onely sonne.
Dixitque ei: Non extendas manum tuam super puerum, neque facias illi quidquam: nunc cognovi quod times Deum, et non pepercisti unigenito filio tuo propter me.
13 And Abraham lifting vp his eyes, looked: and behold, there was a ramme behind him caught by the hornes in a bush. then Abraham went and tooke the ramme, and offered him vp for a burnt offering in the steade of his sonne.
Levavit Abraham oculos suos, viditque post tergum arietem inter vepres hærentem cornibus, quem assumens obtulit holocaustum pro filio.
14 And Abraham called the name of that place, Iehouah-ijreh. as it is said this day, In the mount will the Lord be seene.
Appellavitque nomen loci illius, Dominus videt. Unde usque hodie dicitur: In monte Dominus videbit.
15 And the Angel of the Lord cryed vnto Abraham from heauen the second time,
Vocavit autem Angelus Domini Abraham secundo de cælo, dicens:
16 And saide, By my selfe haue I sworne (saith ye Lord) because thou hast done this thing, and hast not spared thine onely sonne,
Per memetipsum iuravi, dicit Dominus: quia fecisti hanc rem, et non pepercisti filio tuo unigenito propter me:
17 Therefore will I surely blesse thee, and will greatly multiplie thy seede, as the starres of the heauen, and as the sand which is vpon the sea shore, and thy seede shall possesse the gate of his enemies.
benedicam tibi, et multiplicabo semen tuum sicut stellas cæli, et velut arenam quæ est in littore maris: possidebit semen tuum portas inimicorum suorum,
18 And in thy seede shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, because thou hast obeyed my voyce.
et benedicentur in semine tuo omnes gentes terræ, quia obedisti voci meæ.
19 Then turned Abraham againe vnto his seruants, and they rose vp and went together to Beer-sheba: and Abraham dwelt at Beer-sheba.
Reversus est Abraham ad pueros suos, abieruntque Bersabee simul, et habitavit ibi.
20 And after these things one tolde Abraham, saying, Beholde Milcah, she hath also borne children vnto thy brother Nahor:
His ita gestis, nunciatum est Abrahæ quod Melcha quoque genuisset filios Nachor fratri suo,
21 To wit, Vz his eldest sonne, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram,
Hus primogenitum, et Buz fratrem eius, et Camuel patrem Syrorum,
22 And Chesed and Hazo, and Pildash, and Iidlaph, and Bethuel.
et Cased, et Azau, Pheldas quoque et Iedlaph,
23 And Bethuel begate Rebekah: these eight did Milcah beare to Nahor Abrahams brother.
ac Bathuel, de quo nata est Rebecca: octo istos genuit Melcha, Nachor fratri Abrahæ.
24 And his concubine called Reumah, she bare also Tebah, and Gahan, and Thahash and Maachah.
Concubina vero illius, nomine Roma, peperit Tabee, et Gaham, et Tahas, et Maacha.
